Fwd: packages requiring ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk
Sorry, I forgot the list -- Forwarded message -- From: Francesco Pietra Date: Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 8:39 AM Subject: Re: packages requiring ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk To: Lennart Sorensen There is a general problem of the unavailability of libmotif4 in amd64 wheezy. It seems that a bug has been forwarded to the package maintainer, however, nothing happened. There are 32bit OpenGL-libmotif3-based old codes, quite useful in science, and which are difficult to run on amd64, requiring perhaps the installation of also the i386 version. I took the opportunity to remind at large the problem.

I was able to install the testing version of these two packages and then Skype amd64 can install in sid amd64. -- Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well one option might be to use equivs to create a fake package, assuming the actual libraries can be installed already using multiarch. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi, Packages ia32-libs and ia32-libs-gtk are not installable in sid, and this prevents installation of some packages like the Debian amd64 version provided by Skype and google-earth-stable. How do we get around this? Thanks, -- Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
